"Eastbound and Down" actor Danny McBride is putting his unique spin on sword-and-sorcery movies with the upcoming "Your Highness," but the fantasy tale won't be confined to the big screen — it's getting a comic book prequel from Dark Horse Comics, too.

Announced today at New York Comic Con and set to hit shelves March 2011, the "Your Highness" comic will feature a story written by Jeff Fradley and McBride himself, with interior art by Sean Phillips and Gabriel Guzman. Dark Horse Comics has provided Splash Page readers with the exclusive first look at Phillips' cover for the comic, featuring McBride as the lazy Prince Thadeous, James Franco as his brother, Prince Fabious, and Zooey Deschanel as Belladonna.

Keep an eye on Splash Page in the near future for a chat with McBride about the book, but in the meantime, you can feast your eyes on the cover and full plot synopsis from Dark Horse.
